The strange pains you are describing are called neuropathic pain. I found a decent article online that may help when talking to your doctor. http://www.spineuniverse.com/displayarticle.php/article1614.html
I hope it helps. john ________________________________ From: Steve Oldaker <[email protected]> To: [email protected]; quad-list <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, April 16, 2009 12:29:37 PM Subject: RE: [QUAD-L] strange pains Danny, I have experienced nearly the exact same pains you described in the same locations 24/7/365 for 20 years. The affected areas also feel like they are immersed in buckets of ice water. I’ve tried pain meds, anti-seizure meds, anti-depressants, biofeedback, acupuncture and hypnosis. Sadly, nothing has worked. I hope you find a solution.
